PATENTS! NOTICE TO INVENTORS. Tbere was never a time In the history of onr ooaotry when the demand for inventions and improvements io the arts and flcienoes generally was so great as now. The conveniences of mpjkind in the factory and workshop, the household and od the farm, an well as in official life, require continual accessions to the appurtenance and impliments of each in order to saye labor, time and expense. The political change in the administra tion of government does not affect the progress of the American inventor, who being on the alert, and ready to per ceive the existing deficiencies, does not permit the afftiirs of government to de ter bim from quickly conceiving the remedy to overcome existing discrepan cies. Too great owe cunnot be exer cised in choosing a competent and skill ful attorney to prepare and prosecute an application for patent. Valuable in terests have been lost and destroyed in innumerable instances by the employ ment of incompetent counsel, and es pecially is thin advice applicable to thoBe who adopt the "No patent, no pay" system. Inventors who entrust their business to this class of attorneys do so at imminent risk, as the breadth and strength of the patent is never con sidered in view of a qiilok endeavor to get an allowance and obtain the fee. THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY, John Wedderburn, General Manager 618 F street, N. W., Washington, D. C, represenling a large number of impor tant daily and weekly papers, and gen eral periodicals of the country, was in stituted to Drotect its patrons from the unsafe methods heretofore employed in this line of business.

Prehtatorle Man Knew How to Perform Trephining. Prof. Victor Ilorslcy, F. R. S., lately made some interesting assertions in an address in Toynbce hall, Lonilon. upon "Trephining; in the Stone Ape." lie said that there was no doubt that these prehistoric people, though little better than savages of a low type, performed this delicate operation, and the proof of it to surgeons was convincing. If the wound in an injured skull healed the sharp edges become rounded, and il there was a kind of worm-eaten ap pearance round what was once a wound it meant that there was inflam mation at the time of healing. Prof. Ilorsley exhibited representations of prehistoric skulls which presented these appaarances, and urged that it was sufficient proof that the owners survived these operations, performed something like five thousand years ago. He found that in one instance the hole had been scraped out of the skull, and mentioned that even at the present time among the Kabyles, in the north of Africa, two days were oc cupied in performing the operation. Trephining was also accomplished by drilling a number of holes with a bone drill, then breaking down the small partitions, and so releasing the desired piece of bone. Again, the operation could be effected with a stone saw, and skulls were represented that showed that after the periosteum had been scraped away sawing had been resorted to. Primitive people, he said, were very careless as to these operations, and even five hundred years ago in Germa ny a piece of the skull was removed as a cure for melancholy. If a savage suffered in the head from a blow tre phining was accomplished, and doubt less the sufferer from tits, who was considered to be possessed, was re lieved by a similar operation. From the skulls he had examined he found that the holes were generally made immediately above those parts of the brain where an injury would induce fits. Often the piece of bone was re placed in the skull and at other times it was split up into amulets. No doubt the dwellers in the stone age looked into the operation as something very special, and considered that the bone removed had supernatural properties. OLD WORLD ETIQUETTE. 8tranffe Social Cuatoma Whleh Are Ob served 1 1 Europe and Aula. In Sweden, if you address the poor est person on the street you must lift your hat, says the Philadelphia Press. The same courtesy is insisted upon if you pass a lady on the stairway. To enter a reading room or a bank with one's hat on is regarded as a bad breach of manners. To place your hand on the arm of a lady is a grave and objectionable familiarity. In Holland a lady is expected to re tire precipitately if she should enter a store or a restaurant where men are congregated. She waits until they have transacted their business and de parted. . Ladies seldom rise in Spain to re ceive a male visitor, and they rare ly accompany him to the door. For a Spaniard to give a lady even his wife his arm when out walking is looked upon as a decided violation of propriety. In Persia, among the aristocracy, a visitor sends notice an hour or two be fore calling, and gives a day's notice if the visit is one of great importance. He is met by servants before he reaches the house, and other considerations are shown him according to relative rank. The left, and not the right is considered the position of honor. No Turk will enter a sitting-room with dirty shoes. The upper classes wear tight-fitting shoes, with galoches over them. The latter, which receive all the dirt and dust, are left outside the door. The Turk never washes in dirty water. Water is poured over his hands, so that when polluted it runs away. In Syria the people never take off their caps or turbans when entering the house or visiting a friend, but they always leave their shoes at the door. There are no mats or scrapers outside and the floors inside are covered with expensive rugs, kept very clean in Moslem houses aud used to kneel upon while saying prayers. ASSUAGED BY PRIDE. A Grief That Wait overcome by a Senae of lleiiig Uonorud. Many of the old country emigrants do not wish to give up their castle servility when they reach this demo cratic country, says the New York Times. The young wife of a man who has extensive coal interests in Penn sylvania told some friends the other day of a recent experience in this re gard. Soon after she reached her new home, among her husband's mines, the child of a French "digger" died. Her husband, as was his custom, sent for the bereaved parent to offer any assist ance under the sad circumstances. "There is nothing I want," said the man, "only," and he fumbled his hat, "that milady should come to the funeral. If this .will happen the grief, which I have to lose my child will be lightened in the honor which I shall have to write to my parents in France that milady was there." Such touching deference, of course, was recognized, and "milady" went down to the little cottage on the day of the funeral. When she went in the father sat with bowed head at the head of the collin. His eyes, however, were furtively watching the door, aud the instant she appeared he stood up. A look of pride that he could not conceal spread over his face.

Founded Farly in This Century, It How AmounU to About 0410,000. The "Conscience Fund" has figured in the statements of the treasury de partment for over eighty years, says V. L. Crisman in Lippincott's. It was opened by the register of tho treasury department in 1 S 1 1 and appears in the general fund of the government under the head of miscellaneous receipts. Like other assets of the treasury it can be used for any purpose that congress may deem proper. Iu origin was due to the fact that away back in tho be ginning of tho present century some unknown pexson began to feed the sharp thrusts of conscience. In some way he had defaulted the government, and could find relief only by returning the money to the treasury. This was the beginning of the account showing the receipts of moneys by the government from unknown persons. Since then the fund has been accumulating In large ' and until ums, until t tha praertt time it aggregates nearly SD70.000. Re mittances are received nearly every Week. During the prevalence of the hard times the receipts have fallen off considerably, and sometimes a fort night elapses before a communication is received, showing that even a man's conscience can feel the effect of tight money.

Popped Into a "Spare lied" in Which Sil ver Was Stored. An eminent bishop who was quar tered in the house of the wealthiest resident in a certain village, while his host's wife was away, occupied the "spare bed." He is a thin man, and when his host inquired in the morning how he had slept and hoped he had passed an agreeable night, he an swered, with some vehemence: "No, I did not; I passed a very disagreeable night, indeed." The bishop departed, and when the wife of his host returned she naturally inquired who had been in the house in her absence. "Bishop P -," said the husband. "Bishop P ! Where did you put him to sleep?" "In the spare bed, of cours." "In the spare bed!" shrieked the hor rified matron. "Why, I put all the silver under the mattress before I went away." THE STUDY.

The Solicitous Injunction of the Stem Hwlue-Herder. In "Mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada" Clarence King relates that he came one night to a camp-fire under a group of ptnes. A little way from tl lay a confused mass of old and hall-bald buffalo robes and comfort ers, and outstretched on this was a fam ily with their feet to the fire. The fam ily consisted of mother and father, two small children and a huge girl. "You seem to have a pleasant camp spot here." was my salutation. The old woman answered sharply: "They's wus, and then again they's better." "Does well for our hogs," inserted the old man. "We've a band of pork that make out to find feed." "Oh! How many have youf" I asked. "Nigh three thousand." "Won't you set?" asked madam; then, turning to the daughter: "You, Susan, can't you try for to set up, and not spread so? Hain't you no manners, say?" At this the massive girl got herself somewhat together, and made room for me, a courtesy which I declined, however. "Prospectin'?" inquired madam. "I say huntiu'," suggested the man. "Maybe he's a cattle feller," inter rupted one of the children. "Goin' somewhere, ain't yer?" was Susan's guess. 1 gave a brief account of myself, sat isfying all but the old woman, who ev idently classified me as not up to her standard. Later she turned and said to me: "I allow you've killed your coon in your day?" "No, ma'am," I said. "Now you speak of it, I realize that I never have killed a coon." I realized, too, that this fatal admis sion must forever lower me in her eyes, and I observed that even Susan and her father were somewhat stag gered. After a sojourn of several days among them, 1 took leave of the fam ily. The father and Susan accom panied me for a distance into the for est to inspect the hogs. As we were parting the old man said with evident embarrassment: "You'll take care o' yerself, now, won't you'?'' 1 tried to convince him that I would. A slight pause. "You'll take care o' yerself, won't you?" 1 was about to reply that he might rely on it, when he added: "Thi't thct thet man what gets Susan bus half the hogs! Then, turning away, he spurred his pony, calling out: "Take good care o' yerself!" A COLOR-BLIND DIPLOMAT. nut His IllnMou Did Not Extend to the Yoiinir 1i'lv'M Mother. Society of the highly proper sort is laughing in its voluminous sleeve at an adventure which befell a handsome nnlilemnn attached to one of the for eign legations. The young man, it. ap pears, is not averse to admiring femi nine beauty, and it is said that when he visits the theater he takes a seat in the front row and fixes his eyes on the fair portion of the audience, says the Washington Post. It is only natural that a man with such splendidly soulful eyes and lux uriant mustache as the baron's should inspire reciprocal esteem in many of the weaker sex, and isacquainted with maiiv damsels to whom lie has never received a formal introduction. The other day he espied an exceed ingly pretty brunette whom he immedi atelv w;:nled to meet the worst way in the world. When she discovered his admiring glances she drooped her lids in that coquettish way which bespoke a similar desire on her part. The attache is up to such demure lit tle idiosyncrasies and in less time than it takes to tell it he was chatting with her. ner mental brightness was even more pronounced than her per sonal attractiveness, and he was smit ten. She refused his invitation to luncheon, however, and would not even let him walk home with her, but she said he might call and meet her mother, and in case the latter was fa vorably impressed with him he could continue his visits. This was a new type of the American girl to the diplo mat, so he rapturously applauded her eminent good sense and straightfor wardness, and made an engagement, in pursuance of her remarks, for the very next night. lie was so anxious to make a good appearance that he primped for half an hour before the legation pier glass and ruined a dozen neckties before he tied one of the, proper terra cotta shade. 1 hen he sallied forth on con quest bent. He reached his latest inamorata's residence and a bright mulatto boy an swered t he bell. In answer to his in quiry if M iss So-aud-So was at home, the youngster replied that "sister" was iu the parlor. The peculiarity of this remark didn't seem to strike the foreigner, who had been tripped up so many times by American idioms, and he entered. His ideal and a portly yellow woman were in the apartment "My mother, Mr. " began the girl, but the caller had fled. The orse Hereafter. The old Norse idea of the hereafter planned for evil doers is almost the di rect opposite of the orthodox hades. The place of torment for the reprobate sons of the north is called Nastrond, and is situated far toward the frigid north and is directly under Nifiheim, the Scandinavian mythologists purga tory. A describtion of Nastrond as it apppears in the "Prosa Eda" (writ ten in Iceland in the thirteenth cen tury) is as follows: "In Nastrond there is a vast and direful structure with doors that face the north. This build ing is formed entirely of the backs and scales of serpents, wattled together like wicker work. But the heads of the serpents themselves are turned toward the inside of the hall, and they continually vomit forth floods of venom, in which must wade throughout eternity all those who commit murder or swear to lies." Another description of Nastrond is similar to this, but adds that the evil doers are occasionally bitten by the great dragon Xidhogg. Chinese Marksmen. The accuracy of the Chinese marks man is marvelous, when it is remem bered the punstock rests on the hip. In this way he brings down with great facility birds on the wing, and even the snipe, whose zigzag course renders them difficult to spot with the western fowling piece. In addition, too, he uses no explosjva oap, ta flro ft Fith )ig htod, fua.

FRIZtb ON PATENTS. How to get 1100 and Perhaps Hake a Fortune. We aeoare patents sod to induce people to keep track of their bright ideas we offer a prize of one hnndred dollars to be paid on the first of every month to the person who enbmita to ui the most meritoiione invention daring the preceediDg month. We will also advertise tbe invention free n( charge la the National Recorder, a weekly news paper, published in Washington, D. 0, wbioh baa an extensive circulation throughout the United States and is devoted to the interests of inventory. NOT SO HARD AS IT SEBHS. The idea of being able to invest some thing strikes most people aa belli? very rfiflioult; this delusion tbe company wishes to dispel. It is the simple thinga and small inventions that make the greatest amount of money, and the com plez ones are seldom profitable. Almost everybody, at some time or another, oonoeives an idea, which, if patented, would probably be worth to bin fortnne. Unfortunately enoh ideas are neually dismissed without tbongbt. The simple inventions like tbe car window which eould be easily did np and down without breaking the passenger's back, the aance pan, collar button, the nnt look, the bottle stopper, the enow ehnvel, are thinga that almost everyone aeea some way of improving npon, and it is tbeae kind of inventions that bring the greatest returns to the author. Tbe prize we offer will be paid al the end of eaoh month, whether the applj. eation has been acted npon by lbs Patent Office or not. Every competitor rang I apply for patent on his invention throngh us. and whether he eeenre the prise or not. the inventor will bave valuable patent. THE FKESS CLAIM COMPANT, .
